3. PERIOD AND METHOD OF ENTRY. During the period beginning at 12:00 a.m. Central Standard Time (“CST”), October 22, 2014 and ending at 11:59 p.m. CST, December 15, 2014 (the “Period”), you will receive one (1) entry per Qualifying Referral during the Period. A Qualifying Referral means a referral that elects to provide services to Promoter and that remains an employee of Promoter in good standing for at least thirty (30) days during the Period. The Promoter’s computer is the official time keeping device for the Contest. There is no limit on Qualifying Referrals per employee. All decisions regarding Qualifying Entries shall be made in the sole and exclusive discretion of Promoter. All entries become the exclusive property of the Promoter, and none will be acknowledged or returned. Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by the Promoter. The Promoter is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, or invalid entries, which will be disqualified.

4. PRIZE. There is no maximum number of winners for the Contest. Each eligible employee of Promoter employed at the end of the Period will receive one (1) $100 prize award for each Qualifying Referral presented by the eligible employee during the Period. Promoter will provide the $100 prize awards via check, direct deposit or other payment means as established with Promoter’s Accounting Department. The eligible employee currently employed by Promoter at the end of the Period having the most Qualifying Entries during the Period will be designated the potential Grand Prize Winner, and qualify to receive the Grand Prize payout of $2,000, pending verification of eligibility. In the event of a “tie” for the Grand Prize, one or more eligible employees currently employed by Promoter at the end of the Period will share the Grand Prize on an equal basis. For example, if two employees each have 10 Qualifying Entries, they will receive $1,000 each. No substitution for the prize by winner. Promoter may substitute a prize of equal or greater value in its sole discretion. The prize is not transferable prior to award. Taxes associated with the acceptance of the prize are the sole responsibility of the winner.

5. WINNER NOTIFICATION. The grand prize winner will be notified by the Promoter via electronic mail during the week of December 22, 2014. The winner’s name may be posted on the Promoter’s website, social media web pages, email communication or other company materials. In the event the grand prize is not accepted or claimed by the winner within 3 weeks of the winner being notified by e-mail, the winner’s entry will be deemed invalid and the Promoter reserves the right to award the unclaimed prize to another entrant in the Promoter’s sole and absolute discretion. For a list of the winners send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the Promoter’s address listed above Attn: 2014 Referral Contest. Any potential winner who fails to comply with the eligibility requirements will be disqualified and another winner selected in the place of the disqualified person.
